BOAT: Fact, Imagination & Maritime Model Boats

April 14, 2026

Katherine Knight
Tuesday Night Talk
6:30 pm - 7:30 pm

Photographer Katherine Knight presents a behind-the-scenes look at her book, BOAT: Photographs by Katherine Knight and an evening of spirited conversation about how hand-crafted model boats link Atlantic people, places and memories. This one-of-a-kind book is an instant classic for coastal Canada, creating a beautiful, unique, and uncanny record of maritime model boats, accompanied by first accounts by both model creators and those that love this once prevalent and now fading craft. Katherine will share images, readings and film clips of her creative process, including her work with the Goose Boat of Merigomish, on display at the Museum. BOAT is published by WORK BOOK and Goose Lane Editions, and copies will be available for purchase and signing.

Katherine Knight is an award-winning photographer and filmmaker who is particularly recognized for her landscape-based photographic works and documentary films on art and culture. Knight is based in Pictou County, Nova Scotia.

Tuesday Night Talks is open to everyone. We offer free admission from 4 pm - 8 pm. Donations to Feed Nova Scotia are welcome.
